Squash is Our Friend

Yesterday evening, we planted the squash. I think we started out a little late this year, but it was all in the cause of making sure our soil was prepared. So we'll have to keep a keen eye on our crops this year.

Jane was out at one of the home stores today, and came back with Dahlia bulbs, so those are going to be planted in last year's veggie beds. Later today will see us (I'll supervise) getting the irrigation set up and finishing up the sowing of the remaining crops. We sound like such farmers. :)

Thursday, I had my Herceptin infusion, and my Medical Oncologist found me in the infusion ward. I told him, happily, that my PET was rescheduled. He said to make sure I bring my own glucometers, and not to worry, I definitely will! Yes, my PET scan is scheduled for Wednesday. I'm going to go into work on Tuesday and Thursday of this coming week. I am SO very happy with my ability to go places on my own. Autonomy is a gift; don't take it for granted.

On Monday, I'm going to go work on the GM reimbursement with my Chevy dealer. Bill Bonham is the best sales person with whom I have ever worked. He follows up WAY after the sale. If I live long enough to need another new car, that's the man from whom I'm buying it. :)

So, life is settling down to what's now normal for us, and we're enjoying every day. Soon we'll have to decide what to do with tons of squash, and isn't that a happy dilemma to have? I know a local food bank that will probably take whatever we have to spare.

About Me

I was diagnosed with Stage IV esophageal cancer in September of 2010. Now I'm fighting for every day I can get, as long as I get good days in the mix.
Then in May of 2011, I was diagnosed with ANOTHER primary cancer, this one much more lethal: Adrenal Gland Cancer.
I know far too much about fear, and I started this blog to help me control it, so that my last days on earth would not be ruled by fear.
I'm doing pretty well, so far. :)
